I don't object to diesel 911 (except for co$t), I purcha$e $everal ca$e$ of gallon$ each year for $ervice call re$cue.
But for simple cold start improvement on a running vehicle:
* Add a gallon of kerosene to the fuel tank.
* Run the engine (drive) for five minutes to circulate it through the fuel filters / injection pump.
* If compression, starter, battery, glow plugs are good, you should have no morning cold start issue, even at -39° F.
You can safely run two gallons of kerosene per tank of fuel (great cold starts), but it will drop roughly 2-3 mpg.
If you do this, I suggest four ounces of 2-cycle oil to boost lubricity, cetane, perceived power, and MPG.
